2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

[omahen]

I wouldn't pursue either of those options, and I think their are others. The salaries of our deep stable of role players are structured such that some of those guys could be very trade-able. I definitely don't want to trade just to trade. I'm content with seeing what this team can do. But, if something we like pops up, it's possible that some of our modestly priced but productive role players could be packaged.

In case of number 1 we are basically trading Lee+THJ plus perhaps a minor asset. We keep all our bench.

In case of number 2 it is basically Lee. 

I don't agree about our salaries. Despite playing nicely together, none has shown he is more of a role player. And they are paid accordingly. No contender will trade starter level guy for one or two of our role players (unless something is wrong with that starter level guy or we add additional assets). What our role players could perhaps net would be a promising youngster from a contender looking for additional proven veterans.
